My schedule has been so hectic from morning till now. We've shot several Kris TV episodes, countless meetings in between and now we just finished our live episode and the few episodes we did beforehand for A&A for the next two weeks since technically we'll be away starting Sunday for my two week birthday celebration. Although I still have my one last live show for A&A tomorrow. I've decided to spend my birthday abroad with my family. Kind of a late celebration if you'll think, but that's because I have to fulfill my birthday tradition here till Saturday, which is giving back to the people. One of the many things our Mom thought us. But for tomorrow since it's the exact day of my birthday, we'll just have a simple dinner celebration with of course, the family and few close friends.

My day has been long and since it's the 13th, tomorrow's my birthday, here I am still receiving never ending greetings and gifts from family, friends, colleagues and even fans. So I've decided to stay for a while here inside my dressing room to rest. Scrolling through my phone makes my heart happy and appreciated seeing all of these greetings and appreciation even though technically it's a day early for my birthday. Howbeit, with all these texts that I'm receiving, I'm kind of expecting a text from somebody. And that somebody is Herbert. From the time he left the house up till now, no message received from him. Compared yesterday that almost every 30 minutes, he keeps sending me random messages. I don't know, maybe he's busy? Or did he just took a step back? Perhaps he realized that maybe he shouldn't continue that "I want you back" thing he said. Why am I even thinking so much about this? Why do I even care, right?

"Madam, okay lang po kayo?" Good thing Alvin tapped me on my shoulders that made me come back to my senses and from that deep thought.

"Huh? Oh yes, I'm sorry. Thinking of something lang. Why?"

"Okay medyo tulala po kasi kayo hahaha. By the way, si K po nasa labas"

"I know. I'm really sorry hahaha. Si K? Hala let her in" I told Alvin so he nodded as a response and made his way to the door to let K Brosas inside.

"Gorge! Happy birthday!" K came to me directly, gave me a hug and a beso.

"Later pa hahaha. But thank you" I smiled. "Uy tomorrow, dinner. Punta ka. It's just a small celebration. Sila Ate and few close friends lang naman. So it's just us there"

"Ay sure! Ikaw pa ba Gorge, eh malakas ka sa 'kin. Wait, tayo tayo lang? Sure ka na ba dyan? Walang pa-special someone?" K teased so I giggled and lightly tapped her arm.

"Uy wala ah! Hahaha. Ay nako ewan ko sayo. You go na lang" I answered.

"True ba yan? Asus namumula ka na oh. Sige tutal birthday mo, o-oo na lang ako sa sinabi mo. But I doubt. Hahaha!" She continued to tease.

"Ewan ko sayo talaga! Hahaha. Wala nga" I said while I jokingly rolled my eyes on her. "Ah basta tomorrow at my house. Don't forget ah! Nako Ate and everybody else's expecting you there"

"Okay fine. Sabi mo eh hahaha. Sure sure! At talagang ineexpect nila ako ah? Para naman ako yung celebrant sa sinabi mong yun, Gorge" We laughed. "Anyway, o sya may last labada pa ako for today. Dumaan lang talaga ako dito to greet you. Yung gift ko, bukas na. Para atleast sure kang pupunta ako kaya bukas na hahaha" K said as we gave each other a beso again.

"Diba! Basta see you tomorrow. Grabe nag abala pa with the gift, basta you go lang that's okay na. O sya, you go na to your so called labada hahaha. Goodluck!" Kris said and after that they waved each other goodbye as K went out of the room already. "Alvin, it's getting late already. I think we should go home na. Tara na" She said going back to her vanity.
